Deliveries beginning late April 2018. This is an estimated time.
Looks reasonably priced too.

id be all in if there was a group buy, the 3d printed nozzle looks like the business. the nozzle is a weak point of most designs.
Who in ireland does on demand 3d printing ?

Mick I have used this site.

https://www.3dhubs.com/

When you type in your address it lists printers nearby and what they are quoting.

A lot depends on the actual material that's used. Can be a factor of 3 or 4 times!

Cheers will. I've actually got a friend with a 3d printer. He's going to print one and let me know the time/effort and materials involved. If it's worth his while he might be interested in doing some for other members. I'll wait until he comes back to me and will update this thread.

I have to say though, at $54, the 12 bottle washer seems OK value.
The only problem I see is the need for some 120v/220v tranny.
I see CE/UL mentioned - Maybe there is a 220v version?
OP says here from April - so 220v should be good.
Me wait.

Would suggest that someone contacts the US makers and suggests we get an initial group buy price (LOW LOW) in return for reviewing their product via the NHC and our affiliate contacts!!

Got this pic from my friend last night. He said it wasn't too tough to print. He's sending it to me so I can do a test with it before he does up any more. Review to follow...

What type of material is the nozzle printed from? Will it be suitable for higher temperature and cleaning chemicals do you know?

It can take temps of up to 70C without a problem. He can also use a plastic that can handle boiling liquid

Will earlier in the thread was a link to an Aussie homebrew site (that now has broken links to pictures). It showed a bottle washing rig made out of plastic plumbing parts that was made from a set of three way fittings. The three way fittings pointed up wards with the aforementioned nozel fitting in to the top hole. The other two holes had piping to connect to three way fitting on each side. The rig had an entrance point to allow water be pumped in. The bottles sat on top of the nozzle and allowed the water to be sprayed up and in to the bottle.
